Derrickhand Resumes

Résumés built for Derrickhands

We've written oil & gas résumés for derrickhands across Australia's drilling and workover operations – rigs in the WA Pilbara, CSG fields across the Surat and Bowen Basins, and offshore campaigns out of Karratha and Darwin. The derrickhand works the monkey board high in the derrick, racking and handling pipe on trips, and runs the mud system at ground level – mixing, monitoring weights and properties, and maintaining the pits and shakers. It's the rung between offsider and driller, so it draws ambitious floor crew with the head for heights – competition for the spot is real, and a drilling supervisor spends seconds deciding whether your résumé goes forward.

What a strong derrickhand résumé looks like. It leads with your rig tickets and Work Safely at Heights, plus rig pass, Standard 11 or White Card, Confined Space, and OPITO BOSIET, HUET and offshore medical for offshore work. It backs them with real rig experience – the rigs and operators you've worked, monkey-board and pipe-racking work, mud mixing and management, shaker and pit maintenance, mud-weight and property monitoring, and a clean safety record at height – structured so an applicant tracking system and a drilling supervisor can find them in seconds. That is the kind of résumé we build for you.

Why have us write it. We have prepared oil and gas applications thousands of times, we know what gets this kind of application past the screeners, and we stand behind the result. Tell us about the role you are targeting and we will build an application that stands up against the field.
